Hey,
I'm unhappy with the yyyy-mm-dd tags we are creating for all our repos.
ATM these tags are created for deployment purposes (right?). They are
however rather meaningless to consumers of the software, and they stick
around forever. This is not a very standard thing to do, and it is causing
problems for Composer usage. For instance, if I want to install a stable
release of Diff, it is going to get me "2013-06-25" rather then
"0.7".
I propose stopping this tagging policy and removing these existing tags.
For deployment we can have a wmfdeployment branch or so. That makes it
clear to people what it is, causes less clutter, does not play havoc with
Composer, and presumably makes things easier on the deployment side, as the
reference remains the same. Any reasons to not do this? Alternative
solutions?
Cheers
